Interesting, thanks for the answer!

It already got too expensive for me to justify, so any more doesn’t really change the calculus 🫠

When something is eradicated, but comes back, how does that work? Was it only eradicated because of ongoing efforts from this agency?

Amazon really is remarkably bad at releasing games

That makes a lot of sense. I’m sure this latest duo was especially true for since 6 was so much better than 7.

Not that I care about cod particularly, but you’re not kidding. They’re yearly releases so that basically means you don’t get to play at all until the player base moves to the next one.

- Comment on Xbox Game Pass ‘has become too expensive,’ says Microsoft’s new gaming chief in leaked memo 2 months ago:
As far as I know it was a loss leader, too, as in they priced it lower than it would be profitable to take over the market before the hikes. So with that in mind it sounds like they’re pretty screwed.

From what I’ve heard they’re having trouble convincing devs to join so I think you’re spot on

Has it gotten insane in Canada too? I live in nw US and it’s gotten so expensive I don’t even buy it anymore. Easily 3-4x the price of pork.

Beef? In this economy?
- Comment on It's important to remember that real art comes from people, not AI. 2 months ago:
As a professional creative, I think the fear is losing the somewhat rote and “boring” creative jobs that actually pay the bills. It’s very rare to make a living from truly artistic work alone.
I don’t think it does as good of a job as I can, but some of the people paying for it may not value that level of difference.

I got told that about my 30s, and so far they’ve been by far the most stressful period I’ve ever lived through.

I don’t like that they used them in the first place, but I’m glad to see this move. They certainly have the money.

You’re posting random chat stuff in a meme community. Look up a casual conversation community. I think you’ll have more of the response you’re looking for there.

It’s even worse than that, because the more users they have the more expensive the tools are to run. It’s the opposite of how economy of scale is supposed to work. I forget the exact numbers but apparently for every dollar they make they lose 2 or 3x that.
Every new iteration of their models is also exponentially more expensive to run. They desperately need the output to improve because of how inconsistent it is, but doing that only increases the money hemorrhage.
There’s basically no way out from what I’ve been reading about it.
